Midterm Elections In Florida!!
With the midterm elections approaching there is much controversy arising in the race. Democrats stand to lose a great deal of power in the upcoming elections, and as of now that is exactly what many are predicting. The odds are strong against the liberals, as we see the approval rating for president Obama has dropped significantly, and the economy has yet to turn around the lives of many citizens. It is said that Americans are tired of the way the liberals are controlling the country and now it is time for a change. The midterm elections are causing a lot of hostility in the country and this is only adding to the problems for the democrats. There are fifty two seats up for elections and republicans are slated to win almost all of those seats which will help them gain control of the house. Liberals cannot risk losing one seat which is why there are allegations stating the Democratic Party tried to drop democratic candidate Meek from the race for the Florida senate seat. Earlier this week president Clinton meet with candidate Meek and discussed a number of things and one was him drooping out of the race, which would allow for Charlie Christ to have a better chance of protecting the seat from republican candidate Rebio. Rebio is seen in the polls leading by 42 percent, followed by Christ with 35 percent, and Meek who is last with 15 percent. While these allegations are strong against the candidate, Meek denies all claims that he had anything to do with this agreement. If the democrats loose the seat to a republican part it would be detrimental to the fight to maintain control of the house and senate. So many people believe that the party did try to drop Meek in the race and have him endorse Governor Charlie Christ who is an independent.
But I assert that just because the polls show Meek trailing by a large margin that is no accurate argument to make. Also, Charlie Christ is a republican do not be fooled. He is against many of liberal beliefs like pro choice, health care reform, and he supports off shore oil drilling. So let’s be frank here Governor Christ is a clear republican hiding behind the title of a liberal to sway democratic voters. But the key thing to remember here is there are no independents in the Senate; there are only two parties in this country and Charlie is on the republican side. Hence the Democratic Party would not risk allowing the seat going to either of the two.

Great information! I’m excited to vote on Tuesday because this will be first time voting! Although I’m not really satisfied with anything both political parties have to offer. I don’t think Charlie Christ was a good governor and I don’t think he would be a good senator. I agree – Christ is still a Republican trying to garner more votes by declaring himself as an independent. I heard about Meek possibly dropping out too, but I think if he stays in then he could play an important role on the race between Rubio and Christ by taking some of their votes and swaying the election. I also can’t wait until they stop airing all the political ads!
